#(no spoilers im only on s6)

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

actually the best trope is enemies to coworkers to friends to lovers

[tategaminu]

Aye guys so not only the framing is similar with them in a high place and Callum holding her chin to get her closer just like Rayla did with his scarf, they were in sunset/sunrise in the original animatic as well. I'm so normal right now

[lovehours]

i don’t even fucking care

Been thinking the last few days about how tdp s7 will be the first season of the show where we get to see rayllum actually completely together and openly in love for a whole season. Not working toward it through the season- truly together the WHOLE season. For the first time. Can you imagine. It's gonna be so beautiful. Imagine all the shit we're gonna see of them being amazing and loving and a kickass power couple together. The whole season. I cannot wait.

I'm scared of the horrors to come but thinking of this is helping stave off the fear of said horrors.

knowing there are people out there who only keep up w ls watching fuckass roshambo's videos is so damn funny. like seeing people who Only watch ro's videos cry abt how him and mapicc are enemies bc of ro's new video, while knowing that mapicc ASKED ro to blow up his castle and he genuinely just hasnt killed ro even once this season, is so funny.

Only good thing to happen this entire fucking season was Darryl getting to fulfill his dreams and become the announcer for the Sekai Taikai grand finale

[swordofmara]

UGH the way he’s facing the sun and basking in light while claudia holds the power of the sun in her hands and is shrouded in shadow.. not to mention, viren’s shadow…

So the clue is a creepy ass cover of "Ring around the rosie," a childhood nursery rhyme about the Bubonic Plague / Black Death. Here the lyrics pictured:

"Ring around the rosie Pocket of full of posie Ashes, ashes"

stopping before the infamous "we all fall down." When you lighten the photo, there is also a picture of wilted rose.

This clue was also released very purposefully and pointedly at midnight, and the release being at midnight was built up. Therefore:

6x08 has to do with Aaravos' history with Elarion

The poem detailing the history of Elarion and his involvement with dark magic is called "The Midnight Star"

Elarion is routinely referred to as a flower/bloom

The Flowers of Elarion is a story in Tales of Xadia shared between Katolis and Moonshadow elves, specifically. It is the only story in TOX to have a dual narrative treatment.

Flowers of Elarion are left as a gift in exchange for stealing by an unfortunate elven thief stranded on the human side after the Exile.

The flowers, unbeknownst to them, turn to ash in the morning. "They never knew their gift was perceived as a curse, not a trade"

Instead, Lasair intended for them to be "a fair exchange of beloved for beloved" whenever they had to take something important/precious from a family

A wilted rose is also a symbol of dead/dying romance

Either all of this symbolism is going to be woven into Aaravos' backstory (dark magic being a gift and a curse, something that takes more than it ultimately gives) quite easily, leading to Elarion's fall as a city and perhaps Aaravos' own fall, too. If it is tied to the present, I expect it to be tied to our respective Katolis mage and Moonshadow elf, for well, reasons I don't think I have to elaborate on. Either way, it's shaping up to be an incredible episode with some very cool symbolism and deep lore, and I am prepared to be emotionally devastated.

Watching tdp season6 and my god I adore Claudia with my whole heart. my evil autistic bisexual gf with abandonment issues...

[macchiatosdumptruck]

Ok. So. So.

The miyagi fang logo that is shown at first reminded me of those old yellow peril comic books that would either show Asian people with giant, blocky, buck teeth, or

Well.

Fangs.

And. Did they not know?

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

Yo I was RIGHT?!?!

[tategaminu]

Okay folks‚

[artsydevotee]

just rewatched the s5 finale of miraculous and ooo i am itching for some adrien angst. let my boy have his character arc PLEASE

[meteorherd]

one thing im sad i cant experience though is seeing how well bcs stands up to brba on its own. like its one thing for me to say i like bcs more than brba but how much of that is because im already familiar with the characters? im still decidedly in the camp that the way to get maximum enjoyment out of bcs is by watching brba first but like. bcs itself is still really well-crafted. im just curious how easy it would be to immerse yourself in jimmys world without knowing walters beforehand. i wish i could experience both simultaneously...see if i could clone myself id literally only use it for this

[mcytegg]

i think im in too deep w charmander duo. bc i was thinking abt how flame thinks very little abt bans, and how theres a genuine possibility he helps the Guardians ban people not even bc he thinks bans should matter, but just like for fun bc he doesnt think of it that seriously. which led me to thinking "wait but pangi could help him change his mind ^-^" nd now im just thinking of an au where pangi does Just That .

Istg this fucking site and this fucking fandom: please please just decide on tags for the paris special and for season 6. I am trying to filter out spoilers but some of yall are so...creative with your tags that it almost doesn't matter what I have being filtered out. If only we could all agree on a small amount of tags for and not constantly be creating new ones.

For reference I have filteted:

And still have to add new ones. This just seems like a lot. Idk. I'm just trying to not get have things spoiled for me. And even with all these, I still have inadvertently seen small spoilers because we can't agree on a common tag.
